Emergency! Partition permission error! can't see the whole partition!

GUYS, ! Need your help!
The HD inside my MBP has 2 partitions. system & work
Somehow, I can't see partition Work in the Finder. I tried repair it in the disk utility. However, partition Work appears to be grey, and I can't verify nor repair the permission.
I also tried booting MBP with the Tiger restore disk. I met the same situation and No success at all.
Can anyone help me this out? Thanks in advance.

It could be that the partition has had the invisible bit set. See this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=865694&tstart=0
If you can still navigate to stuff on the partition it is likely that is the problem.

ICal error - can't see the calendars on opening...

iCal error - can't see the calendars on opening... unless i change the view - but then still the portlet in the top left hand corner remains blank.
Re-installed the whole OSx system from original disks and still the same problem.
cleared out the cache files, including trying to delete the metadata files... taken to my local Apple Centre (Academy) but no sucess so far.
Any ideas? Is it because i have around 8 calendars? Is that too many?
Could it be 'cos I sync with Missing Sync for my Palm TX?
H E L P !!
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

When a user launches iCal, they may have one of the following symptoms:
* When iCal is launched the calendar is blank -- no calendars are listed on the left and no events appear in the day/week/month views
* Switching views allows all events to appear but the calendars on the left are still missing
* User can create a new event and designate a calendar but when the event is saved it cannot be seen
* Clicking in the blank space where the calendars are supposed to be has no effect.
This issue is a Sync Services issue and not directly related to The Missing Sync. Mark/Space has identified a couple of solutions to this problem that others have reported. For more information, see: http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20060207074628694
1) Quit iCal
2) Locate the folder, User/Library/Application Support/iCal/Sources/ and delete the contents
3) After deleting the files from this folder, lock the "Sources" folder. Do this by navigating up one level and selecting the "Sources" folder. Perform a "Get Info" (either through the "File" menu or by pressing Command-I with the "Sources" folder selected) then click the lock icon.
4) Launch iCal and your calendars should reappear. Note that the relaunch of iCal will create a default 'Home' and 'Work' calendar, so make sure none of your calendars have the same names as the default .
Do some backups first
Follow those simple steps
5) Go to Address Book, click on 'File' menu and choose 'Back up Address Book'. Go to iCal, click on 'File' menu and choose 'Back up database'.
6) Go to Missing Sync and double click on the Backup Conduit and set it to backup all databases. Then run the sync with just that Backup conduit selected, disable all other conduits.
7) Go to: /Users/<user name>/Documents/Palm/Users/<hotsync name>/ now hold the 'ctrl' key and click on the /Backups/ folder. Choose the option to 'Create Archive of "Backups"'. This is to safeguard your backed up data in case anything goes wrong.
Now 'Reset Sync History' using the iSync preferences option. The first sync will likely be slower.
8) Launch iSync
9) Click on the iSync menu
10) Choose Preferences (make sure the "Enable syncing on this computer" is checked)
11) Click the 'Reset Sync History' button. Read and follow the onscreen directions.
12) This may launch iCal. Also the status of the reset is showing in the iSync display. When the reset is complete quit both iSync and iCal.
Launch Missing Sync and enable the Mark/Space Events and Tasks conduits and set them to Desktop overwrite Handheld. Disable all other conduits.
Then sync, when you do, you will get a dialog box with an orange iSync icon on it. Check the box to erase the device, then click the 'Allow' button. It will overwrite your device. You will get one for events, one for tasks, and one for contacts. The next time you sync .mac or other devices that sync with iSync like an iPod, you will get these same dialog boxes for their databases and you should check the box and click 'Allow' in those cases as well.
If you press the don't allow button you will need to reboot your computer.

I can't see the Mac partition (and I can't install Mac Os X!)

Well, I installed Windows XP, I used MacDrive, etc. Suddenly it appeared a blue screen (in XP) and now I can't see the Mac partition, even pressing Alt while booting. Also I can't reinstall Mac Os X because the Mac partition doesn't appear in the install's menu or in the disk utilities (in the disk utilities it gets freezed when I try to enter to it, so I can't manage or restore the hard drive)
Help!

Hi, Ralph,
The problem is that I did erase the partition, using disk utility, but I can't go back to my original disk size pre-partition, as disk utility won't let me do it and gives the message "Couldn’t modify partition map because file system verification failed." When I try to use Boot Camp Assistant it won't let me select the third option to remove windows.

How can I see the whole week with calendar built-in app ?

How can I see the whole week with calendar built-in app ? My husband has an ipad and he can see the whole week and the whole year... is it possible with iphone 4 ?

What you see is what is available.
Turning the iPhone into landscape mode with Month, Day, or List view selected provides the closest thing to seeing an entire week.

You have posted in the itunes store forum. This has nothing to do with the itunes store.

How can I see the whole screen on my original iPad, without having to scroll up or down. Something changed and I don't know how to get it back. I don't have a computer to hook it up to. Thx!

My front screen seems to zoom in when I start it now. AND, now I can not see the page fit the screen. It makes me scroll on the borders to move parts of the screen into view. Something changed and I don't know what happened or how to get it back to normal. Please HELP!!! Thx!

it is possible that zoom maybe enabled i think double taping with three fingers should disable it.
or you can go into settings>general> assessability> zoom and turn it off.
hope this helps

How can I see the whole day in day view without scrolling?

I'm using iCal 4.0.4 on my MacBook. I'd like to see the whole day of events without having to scroll down. Right now I can only see about 5 hours at a time. I've set the day to start at 8am to midnight. Is there a way to see 12-16 hours at a time with no scrolling?

Hi,
Go to iCal > Preferences General. If I remember correctly there should be a "Show XX hours at a time" option there. There certainly is in version 6.0.
Best wishes

Can't see the whole spread

Hi,
I working in an InDesign document that
has four pages (two spreads)
For the first two pages (spread), I'm able to see
everything. However, on the second spread I was able to see
the whole thing for awhile by either by zooming out or moving
my cursor up down or to the side with the space bar held down. However,
suddenly that's not working. I can't even scroll down using the scroll bar past the top half of the
second spread unless I'm zoomed out to the point where I can't read
the text.
I've tried Fit Page in Window and Fit Spread In Window and that
doesn't work either. What's going on?
Thanks.

Thanks Peter. Wasn't successful with the preferences, but restarting InDesign did the trick.
However, now the type is acting funny. It should be regular black but it's fading from
black to white. I've attached a screenshot.
Think this is related to the preferences?
How do you quit and relaunch InDesign in the manner
you describe in the resetting your prefs intructions? Is
there a way to do that automatically like you in restarting
your computer. Or do you need to quit and then re-open it
while holding down command, shift, control and option?
Thanks.

MSI GeForce 9800 gt after updating the driver can't see the whole desktop

I have a MSI GeForce 9800gt, and I've tried to update the driver. After update I can no longer see the whole desktop, I have to move the mouse to the edge of the screen to see the rest, it's like there is a zoom or something.
The driver that came with the CD works fine, but any other driver give's me the same problem. I've tried with v.191.07, v.178, v.258.96, v.306.81 and a few other. I've also reinstall the windows but with no better results (I'm using Windows XP Pro).
Please help. Thank you.

Thanks for the quick replay, so :

Did you try to set the correct resolution for your screen after updating?
Yes, I've tried different resolutions, the only resolution where I see the whole desktop is 800x600. I even try to change the refresh rate to something lower then 60Hertz(I've read on a forum that a refresh rate of 51 or 59 might solve the problem) but no luck.

clean old drivers with >>Driver Fusion<< in Safe Mode 1st,
then reinstall vga drivers
I've tried this as well, I even try with a fresh install of windows, I've bought a new SSD for my system disk, so I have reinstall the windows.

My Iphone 4 has slightly zoomed in and I can't see the whole screen. I am sure there is a simple solution.

My Iphone 4 has slightly zoomed in on the screen and I can't see icons on bottom or read whole screen. Can somebody advise, I am sure a simple solution?

This is covered in the manual:
iPhone User Guide (For iOS 4.2 and 4.3 Software)

How do I get my home screen smaller...it has gotten bigger and I can't see the whole thing at once. Changing the resolutions doesn't make a difference.

I had my mouse in the bottom left corner when I made a spreading motion with 2 fingers. The whole screen got really magnified. The reverse action did not put it back. How to I get back to the standard size home screen????? PS....I'm a new mac user..so no big words plz.

Head to the Apple menu > System Preferences > Universal Access (or Accessibility or whatever they call it now) and fiddle with the zoom settings.
Perhaps you should consider using a scroll wheel mouse and setting the Control key as it being held down to zoom in/out with the scroll wheel, that's what I do and it's a lot easier than using the trackpad.
Trackpads are more for like temporary portable and emergency uses as they are not that comfortable or easy to use for the long term.

When I get on facebook, i can not see the whole picture even if I turn it sideways. It has not done this till here recently. What do I do?

When I get on facebook, it will not show the whole picture on anything, even when I turn it sidways. What do I do?

Steve MacGuire a.k.a. turingtest2 - iTunes & iPod Hints & Tips - Grouping Tracks Into Albums - http://www.samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp (older post on Apple Discussions http://discussions.apple.com/message/9910895)
Quick answer: Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist", or check the "compilation" flag (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085).
If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields. If they are not a multiple CD set you still need to make sure the disc number fields are set correctly or all empty.

My appearance add-on doesn't show enough of the entire picture, so how can I see the whole picture?

I download a few delightful "Appearance" add-ons -- full size -- however only a miniscule part of them show on my screen. And the pert that shows is covered by the tool bars. I have already given up displaying them on my screen, and I've decided I'd like to add them to my photo collection if that would be allowed. Is there a way I could simply download them for wallpaper or file away to look at now and then without signing a contract or anything? I have no desire to post them anywhere or claim them as my own creations.
Thank you for any help you can provide.

“Persona” — a type of Apperance add-on — is just a fancy name for a toolbar background. You can show more of the image by adding more toolbars:
# Right-click an empty area of the tab bar and choose '''Customize'''.
# In the window that opens, click the '''Add New Toolbar''' button, then enter a name for it when prompted.
# Drag the ''Flexible Space'' icon onto the new toolbar.
# Click the '''Done''' button.
The list of installed personas is stored as the ''lightweightThemes.usedThemes'' preference.
# Type ''about:config'' in the address bar and press Enter.
# Press the big button to bypass the warning.
# In the Search box, paste ''lightweightThemes.usedThemes''
# In the search results, right-click ''lightweightThemes.usedThemes'' and choose '''Copy value'''.
# Paste the value in a text editor like Notepad to get a better look. “headerURL” is the image used for the top part of the window (the navigation and bookmarks toolbars), while “footerURL” is the image used for the bottom part of the window (the add-on bar).
Maybe you were hoping for the functionality provided by this extension.
